I notice from a number of sources and circulating social media posts that schools in Aldridge and Brownhills are warning parents about two incidents where children have been approached by a male in his 20s or 30s in a white BMW X1 car.

This text was sent from Brownhills School to a parent this afternoon:

Text sent to parents of Brownhills School pupils this afternoon (Friday 13th May 2016).

At the moment I have no further information, but better to be safe than sorry – please warn your kids and be cautious. Meanwhile, if you saw these incidents, or anything suspicious please do contact West Midlands Police by dialling 101 or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Cheers to the readers who tipped me off.
